    I loved Cindy’s project on piano notes, I thought it was so interesting how lower notes have slow low frequencies, and high notes have faster higher frequencies, it makes so much sense! It was amazing when she showed the 3 notes that sounded good and their wavelengths, vs the notes that didn’t sound good and their wavelengths! They line up, and sound much more pleasing to our ears, so cool!
